Allows electronic service of objections to candidate nominations in Illinois elections.
Illinois HB3299 amends the Election Code to allow election authorities to authorize the electronic service of objections to candidate nominations instead of personal service. This applies to objections to candidate nominations, petitions for public questions, and petitions for amendments to the state constitution. The bill specifies that electronic mail addresses must be provided for both candidates and objectors, and that notice of objections and electoral board proceedings can be sent electronically. This change aims to modernize the process of filing objections in Illinois elections.
